Fresh Home Style Lemonade

To make lemonade, you first need to make limoncello. That’s about the only time I make lemonade.

Or, start with 12 lemons, 2 cups of sugar, and 2 cups of water. A few mints leaves are a nice touch.

When I make limoncello, I skin about a dozen lemons, and infuse the peels in grain alcohol. That leaves me with 12 skinless lemons. Wasted food haunts me.

Nothing beats freshly squeezed lemonade. This recipe produces tart, sweet lemonade. If you want milder lemonade, increase the water (and sugar if desired) by at least two cups, or until the sweetness and tartness suits your taste.
